No. Generally, they think to themselves, "I really hope I don't say anything that will offend any family members." But then they comment on the "oriental rug" and get yelled at and called a problematic bigot and uninvited to any and all future family get togethers.
The red hat wearing, racist, Nazi, "fuck your feelings" caricature that the internet has made out of anyone who is not a Democrat is just as wrong and hateful as the blue haired, gender fluid, "punch my Nazi family members in the face" caricature that the internet has made out of anyone who is not a Republican.
You guys need to stop buying in to stereotypes!
I'm glad for you that you don't have any of the republican stereotypes currently in your life.
